VIRTUE

Virtue is a unisex parfum by The Spirit of Kings, part of the Justice Collection and signed by perfumer Christian Provenzano. An intense, thrilling spicy amber fragrance that the house calls an oud homage completed by lavender and spices: a perfume that never goes unnoticed.

The Fragrance

In the Justice Collection the colour is blue, which for the house represents clarity and balance and reflects the timeless nature of justice: fragrances that blend fresh, luminous notes with woody and ambery bases, designed for leadership grounded in stability. Virtue pays tribute to the wise and benevolent leadership that embodies virtue in royal courts, fostering respect, justice and harmony. In the composition, saffron and nutmeg represent the richness and substance of virtue, lavender brings calm and grace, while the base expresses stability, wisdom and spiritual depth.

How It Evolves on Skin

The opening is aromatic and spicy: lavender intertwines with marigold, saffron and nutmeg, in an accord that is fresh and warm at the same time. The heart turns soft and luminous with cashmere musk, white jasmine and blond woods. The base is rich and resinous: patchouli, vetiver, cypriol, oakmoss, labdanum, olibanum, amber and brown sugar create a deep, woody and slightly sweet trail with an almost oud-like character.

Who We Recommend Virtue To

We recommend Virtue to anyone who loves intense, sophisticated perfumes, spicy and resinous, with an aromatic freshness that makes them elegant. It is perfect for important occasions, evenings and the cooler seasons, and it appeals to those looking for an opulent, recognisable olfactory signature. Unisex, it wins over those who want to leave their mark.
